Trying to determine whether your small business needs a business VoIP system? There are a few things you need to consider to ensure the system will indeed be right for your needs.
Here are a few of our top tips:
- Take a look at your current costs. If long distance phone calls are a heavy investment for your company, or perhaps calls between offices or employees then business VoIP might be the answer. Don’t forget to take into consideration any hidden fees or setup costs which you may be paying.
- It may be a good idea for your business to get business VoIP if you have employees that work remotely or from home. A hosted VoIP phone system will allow all of your employees to make and receive calls using the same business number, as if they were all in the same building, no matter where they are in the world!
- If your business has a heavy reliance on conference calling, business VoIP might just be a more cost-saving way to go.
- If dealing with customers that tend to be spread out geographically, and especially globally, it may be easier to adapt your phone system to business VoIP.
- When making a decision to go with business VoIP, it is generally recommended that you test the new system by setting it up for a particular department first. Make use of any free trial available to see how a particular VoIP service works for you before you part with any money.
- It generally should not have to be said, but security must also be a primary concern. Make sure you have a suitable firewall in place to prevent anyone from gaining access to your computer network and potentially listening in to your calls or stealing your data.
Generally speaking though, business VoIP can offer huge advantages to any small business. To find out more about what an internet phone service can do for your business, visit www.nimvelo.com or call 0121 285 4400.
